I do recommend Dr. Vanessa Sheldon for weddings. She is professional. Good contact, great music and beautiful instrument harp you can add to your scenery!

Vanessa was very friendly, learned any song we chose, and made our wedding so much more romantic!

For a backyard family event (25th wedding anniversary), Dr. Vanessa Sheldon played the harp during our cocktail hour and was absolutely superb. Very talented and professional, she set the perfect tone for an elegant evening. I deeply appreciated that she also provided a list of songs in advance to customize her performance, and was also willing to take requests or learn new songs in advance. Great to work with and smooth communication!

Vanessa was a wonderful musical addition to our holiday cocktail party. She played beautifully many various types of songs which we requested her to perform. She chose just the right ones from Christmas to the American song book. Her pleasant personality and professionalism made her a joy to work with. Highly recommended.

Dr. Sheldon is an outstanding harpist! Her repertoire Is exceptional! She performed a lot of different genres of music, which I found FABULOUS!

Vanessa's performance at our wedding was everything I imagined and more. She played for both our ceremony and the following cocktail hour. She showed up in a beautiful dress appropriate for our black tie event. Her white harp was breathtaking to look at, and her setlist added the perfect touch to provide the whimsical tone we were looking for. Many of our guests came up to my husband and I at the wedding to compliment us on the fantastic decision to have Vanessa play for us. My only regret was not having a chance to chat with her on the actual wedding day. Vanessa was extremely organize and professional to work with during planning. Hire her! You won't regret it.

Vanessa did a great job for my family. She played at the memorial service for my mother, as well as all through the reception following. She was great, very entertaining, and was flexible. Also, she was easy to deal with, stayed calm and collected throughout the event, and had to deal with other musicians. I would recommend her highly and would use her again myself.

Amazing performer, professional and prompt.

Very nice music selection - not to loud and not too soft. Very professional.

Her expertise and beautiful talent added the perfect ambiance to our wedding ceremony! She was lovely to work with and even played a song of our choice not included in her repertoire!

Dr. Sheldon is very professional and responsive. She is extremely organized and flexible, which made the whole process simple. My guests enjoyed her beautiful music. If you want an elegant, classy wedding, book her! You won’t regret a thing.

Dr. Sheldon performed beautifully at an event for our country club, even treating us to an encore of her own composing ! Rave reviews all around after the event and in the following days ! Unbelievable talent !

We are so grateful to find Dr. Vanessa Sheldon. We were trying to plan a wedding in California & we live out of state. She was amazing to work with, she would always respond to my emails in a quick manner, helping us to put all the details together. She sent us a list of songs to choose from which had such a wide variety that it covered our ceremony & cocktail hour perfectly. We only requested one song not on the list & she learned it for our ceremony. She also at our request found a violinist to accompany her at our wedding which alleviated us from having to search for one. I would recommend her for any wedding. Who knows if my other 2 girls decide on a destination wedding I will be calling her again:)

Dr. Sheldon was absolutely amazing! My guests found her music to be very entertaining and beautiful. I would definitely recommend her for your harpist needs.
